Itinerary
Honi Olani is a 53-foot catamaran that has both covered seating as well as outdoor seating. The configuration of the catamaran is great for viewing and picture taking of the Hawaiian Sunset. Enjoy this two hour cruises on the west side of the island which is known for its beautiful sunsets. Look for Dolphins Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles Humpback Whales [in season], and Flying Fish Board a sailing catamaran and sail past the immense Makaha Valley and see it in all its glory, peak to shore, in the beautiful late-afternoon lighting. The captains and crew will teach you about Hawaii’s long and storied history of the sea, from fishing, to pioneering surfing, and the Hawaiian art of way-finding – using paths of stars, the sun, clouds, wind, swell, even birds in flight to find their way across the vast ocean. After sunset, gaze at the stars as you return to the harbor, and try to match the constellations to the Hawaiian names on a Hawaiian sky map.

We had the absolute best time on this cruise. The staff was very engaged and just amazing. We saw dolphins, caught a yellow fin tuna, and our food was delicious. Not to mention the MaiTais. We highly recommend this adventure to both locals and visitors alike. A shout out to Quin, Sophia and Keoni 🌺
We had a great time out on the boat with Captain Quin, G & Jeani. We were lucky enough to see a lot of humpback whales- a wonderful bonus! The boat was clean and the crew was exceptionally friendly and fun. It was a really good time.
We really enjoyed our time with Captain Quin, Jeani, & Q. They were a great crew, who made everyone feel welcome. Unplanned, but we saw a lot of whales- it was a great treat! The boat is very clean & easy to maneuver around. We would definitely recommend this company.
Sunset cruise was great. Saw Humpback Whales and Dolphins. Food and drinks were good. Crew was helpful and friendly. Clean boat. We would go back.
Friendly crew, clean boat, responsive. Beautiful view and put up the sails for a full experience. Bathroom was clean as well
The crew are very friendly. Its my.birthday week and one of my.bucket list. We got to.see the dolphins
Definitely recommend! We had such an awesome relaxing time on this sunset cruise. The crew was friendly and interactive with us. We even got other recommendations from them. The drinks were good too. Certainly worth the price for such beautiful views and a wonderful crew!
The cruise was fun thanks to a great crew, seeing spinner dolphins, a beautiful evening, and great friends!
Hawai’i Nautical provides such a great experience! We have done the West Oahu Sunset Cruise during our last two visits to the island and will now make it a tradition! The drinks are great, the staff super friendly, and the views amazing! Cannot recommend this cruise enough!
This cruise was so nice. The crew was awesome, the drinks were delicious. The catamaran was the cleanest catamaran I've ever been on for a tour. Thank you Quinn and crew.
The crew and view were amazing 🤩 I got a little sea sick and they took great care of me. The food was a bit salty and I didn’t eat it but great trip all around.
The crew was exceptional— Friendly & very accommodating! They went out of their way to make it fun!!
Last evening, my friend and I went on the sunset cruise on west Oahu from Hawaii Nautical. We were picked up by Quin from the Marriott Ko Olina resort and drove about 20 minutes up the coast. All I can say is that this will be the highlight of my trip to Oahu. The 63’ sailboat cruised along the wild, stunning and jaw dropping coast with views of mountains both far and near. Think Jurassic Park. The mountains drop right into the ocean as the coastal road comes to an end. The crew was great too- kudos to Quin, Dave and Ian. They pointed out many things, answered our questions while providing drinks and a nice box of food. Three great guys who really knew what they were doing. If you want to go on a sail and see the real coastline (no high rises ), while enjoying spinner dolphins and a gorgeous sunset, I highly recommend this 2 hour trip. Thanks, guys!
We thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. The boat was beautiful and the captain and crew were very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot about the island from the crew and had a peaceful and relaxing trip. I highly recommend, especially if you are staying on the west side of the island.
I was thrilled to find this sunset sail cruise on the west side of Oahu. It was about a 5 min drive from where we were staying versus having to drive all the way into Waikiki. The price was reasonable and consistent with similar experiences elsewhere. Crew was polite and engaging. There were only 4 couples on the cruise the day we went which was great because it wasn't remotely crowded. My husband and I weren't crazy about the food that was provided but had planned for dinner elsewhere anyway. I would definitely book this cruise again and recommend it to others.
awesome crew. very friendly and safe. cruise was amazing with awesome water. As someone whose sailed sailed over 50 years, these guys know their stuff. very nice catamaran, clean and well equipped. crew gave us a list of off the beaten path places to visit and they were spot on for all of them. gave us some real hole in the wall local eats that only locals know about and they were all fantastic!! would def recommend and we will definitely go with them again!
Despite some rough sea and poor weather, especially on the way out, we enjoyed ourselves. The captain and crew were friendly, helpful, and professional. The drinks and food were tasty. We will definitely go again!
Helpful and friendly crew and a beautiful boat. We would recommend this excursion to anyone staying at Ko olina. Very convenient location!
Owners were very responsive to plumbing problem. Responded quickly lovely condo. Would visit again.walking distance to restaurants and beaches. Golf across thee street. All the neighbors were friendly friendly and helpful with activities and directions.
Enjoyed viewing the rugged mountains in Makaha and Kaena Point area. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable about the things we were seeing. They almost caught a tuna!
The crew was fun! Watched them "try" to catch fish. Actually hooked a huge tuna but got away at the boat. Was very entertaining. Sunset was beautiful 😍
The sunset was amazing. The appetizer was just the right size and the drinks were delicious. The crew was thoughtful and considerate.
This was an amazing Sunset Cruise. Our captain, Dave met us at the dock warmly. His crew of Ian and Quinn were wonderful and very informative. We were a party of 3 with the entire catamaran to ourselves! And to make a perfect cruise even better, we were privileged to watch whales putting on quite a show for us.
Fun and relaxing. The food was excellent! Beautiful views. The crew was sweet and attentive. Sunset did not disappoint.
Good time on the boat. The crew were fun and informative. Had a humpback whale surface right by our boat. Food and drinks were great too!
Great crew and great time to see whales! Food was really good! Love the west side. Worth the drive don’t miss out!
The crew & view was terrific Definitely worth the drive if you are not on this side of the island. It’s whale migration season so we did see whales & dolphins. The crew very interactive
Calm waters, warm trades, beautiful sunset dip between clouds, whale sightings, stories with Quin, all with a beer in our hand … another glimpse to your lovely island. It’s our 3rd time with you, & each time is so wonderful. Thank you again for your efforts to make a perfect end to a perfect day. We will be back! Bill & Carole from Alaska
Great experience. The captain & crew were very engaged for our sunset cruise with a group of 5. They explained parts of the island with history & entertaining facts as we went up the coast, stopped to see a whale breaking the water. Awesome place for pictures.
First and foremost the deck crew and captain was AMAZING. We learned so much about the Hawaiian culture and enjoyed spending time talking with the crew. The boat ride was spectacular, views were amazing and it was a very relaxing trip out on the water. This tour is a must!
What an amazing end to a fabulous Hawaiian wedding and vacation! The crew and boat were great; the sunset was spectacular and they took us to a huge pod of Spinner dolphins that provided such a fun “show” for us. Getting the snack and beverages was a nice bonus, but honestly the sunset sail experience was the pinnacle!
Enchanting! Had a lovely sunset sail. The catamaran was spacious and comfortable, views splendid, drinks excellent. The crew was terrific, food was good, but could use a little more like chips or something. Would highly recommend… much less expensive than similar trips on Maui. Caden the crewman was a wealth of knowledge. We really enjoyed the whole trip and the other passengers were delightful as well. We will be back.
Awesome fun evening. The sunset was fantastic. The crew is the best!! The company and its owner are top notch! Spinner dolphins and cruising make for a great evening with family and new friends.
Crew was super friendly, courteous and fun to be around. The tour was very relaxing and calm beautiful view of the sunset and island.
2nd time for taking this cruise. Always a great evening! Would highly recommend, very relaxing. Crew always so nice and accommodating.
Crew was so friendly and knowledgeable! We enjoyed conversation with all of them and learned interesting info about the island. We would definitely do this again.
Crew was wonderful. Really nice guys. We even saw dolphins. Beautiful sunset. Will definitely come back here and take this cruise again.
Our party of 6 had a wonderful time sailing the coast of West Oahu during sunset hours! We had calm waters and beautiful views. We were lucky enough to have only 13 people total during our sailing which made moving around and picture taking opportunities much better. My 20 year Navy veteran loved talking to the captain of the sailboat. The atmosphere was very chill and relaxing. Just a note, prepare to remove your shoes upon entry. I highly recommend this activity!
We were able to see multiple sightings of whales on our trip. Unfortunately this was the only day of our vacation that was not sunny so we did not see a sunset.
Caden and his fellow crew provided a wonderful trip for the small group. They even created a few magical moments for a very special guest onboard who was visiting Oahu as part of a Make-A-Wish Foundation trip.
Highly recommend!!! The boat was the perfect size to move around and see everything the water, mountains and sunset has to offer but not feel crowded. Got get pictures. All of the deck crew was very inviting, personable,, and very informative. Had a great time!!! Felt like the cruise was made just for me and my family. Have a drink, relax on the catamarans netting up front, take in the sunset and just be in the moment.
We wanted a more intimate Sunset cruise and ended up, selecting this trip, leaving out of the West Coast of Oahu about an hour drive from Honolulu where we were staying. Our crew is great, there were only a dozen guests on the boat, the drinks were included, and there was a lovely, small chicken dinner/appetizer. It was not much of a sunset because of the incoming storm but we did see a whale and had a wonderful time.
Amazing experience. Beautiful coastline, friendly crew, and a great boat. Perfect weather and great friends certainly helped too! Would highly recommend to cap off a trip to the islands.
Great tour. If you’re looking to see an amazing sunset, with knowledgeable staff and a beautiful boat, this is for you. Drinks and food are nice. The cruise is relaxing but exciting as well. Definitely would do it again. It was listed as a cocktail cruise, as it was, though we took our 18 and 20 year olds, they were included in all conversations and did not feel out of place.
Great way to end our Hawaiian vacation. The captain and crew were awesome! They made sure everyone had a great time. The views were amazing. The food was quite tasty, and they had a good selection of cocktails and local beers! Boarding was fast and easy. Plenty of free parking right there at the dock. Would definitely do this sunset cruise again! Worth every penny.
Crew was great, weather cooperated but Mother Nature came in for a home run with Pygmy killer whales “logging” and a rare treat to see plus entertaining spinner dolphins bow riding, topped off by a glorious sunset. Thank you Jesse, Caden and Sea-anna (best name ever for an ocean loving crew mate!).
Just as important as the scenery and weather is the crew - and the crew was outstanding! Christian led with confidence and good cheer, ensuring every guest was in good care. A big advantage doing this tour from the Waianae Boat Harbor is the quick transit to open water and transitioning from motor to sail. As usual, the sunset was spectacular - and it was a green flash night!
The experience was okay. Of course the beauty - scenic views cruising up the coast AND the sunset - was unrivaled. The crew was okay, only somewhat engaged. When asked about the sea life we were told they were asleep. The food was unexciting and the cocktails were not great.
The views were amazing and the crew did their best to maximize the experience! The crew was knowledgeable on local wildlife and Hawaiian history and enjoyed sharing.
